One Man – one Idea - Lyoness

One Man – one Idea
Hubert Freidl, Founder and CEO of Lyoness International AG
The recipe for a successful business always starts with
a brilliant idea and one person who knows exactly what
they want, and how to achieve it. Behind Lyoness is one
such man who, since his youth, has stood out due to his
enthusiasm.
The trained wholesale dealer, Hubert Freidl, founder
and CEO of Lyoness International AG, was born in Graz
on the 29 th of January 1972. From a very young age
Hubert Freidl achieved all his goals and visions. At just
23 years old he was very independent and put his
strengths and qualifications to good use in the insurance
and development of software field, for firms throughout
Europe.
This experience paved the way for an international
career. In 2001 the father of two had the idea of a huge
shopping community based on his personal experience:
the more people that shop together, the higher the
possible discounts.

after founding Lyoness Holding Europe AG, he had a customer base of 7,600 in Austria,
Slovakia, the Czech Republic and Hungary.
Today, Lyoness International AG is active in 20 European countries, the USA, Canada and
the United Arab Emirates with a shopping community of over 1,5 Mio. customers and 18,500
partner companies. The international set up of the Lyoness network is planned for 33
European countries. It was founded in July 2009 and, on the 6 th of February 2010, Lyoness
America Inc. had already begun overseas.
The ambitious businessman had a vision to establish the strongest customer card in Europe.
His success so far proves he’s on the right path.
“Lyoness is not only a terrific chance for all participants to find themselves in a Win-Win-Win
situation, but it also inspires people. Consumers and businesses alike know how strong they
are as a community, and together they can achieve great success“, says Hubert Freidl,
referring to the Lyoness philosophy.
Through the sponsorship of the Lyoness Open Event, the nature and sport loving Hubert
Freidl is delighted to have discovered golf for himself. It gives him great pleasure, as a
